Requiem is also used to describe any sacred composition that sets religious texts that would be appropriate at a funeral, or to describe such compositions for liturgies other than the Roman Catholic mass. Among the earliest examples of this type are the German requiems composed in the 17th century by Schütz and Praetorius, whose works are Lutheran adaptations of the Catholic requiem, and which provided inspiration for the mighty German Requiem by Brahms. A rather exhaustive lis ...

A pacifist, Britten was inspired by the commission, which gave him complete freedom in choosing the type of music he'd like to compose. He conceived of setting the traditional La ...

Miller's views on the American Dream are clearly demonstrated throughout the play, but especially in the Requiem. Charley's speech, beginning 'Nobody dast blame this man.' sums up the play, and is a fantastic source to quote. 'He don't put a bolt to a nut, he don't tell you the law or give you medicine.' Here, Miller is explaining that being a Salesman does not have a fulfilling role in life. They are not part of something with potential. Building, applying the law and healing the sick are a ...

This use of the word requiem comes from the opening words of the Introit: Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. (Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and may everlasting light shine upon them.) The requiem mass differs from the ordinary mass in omitting certain joyful passages such as the Gloria, Credo, and Alleluia, and by the addition the sequence Dies Iræ.

The Ancients are a fictional race of gods or god-like beings from the video game Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Bound by mysterious events in the past, the Ancients wait deep beneath the planet's surface, biding their time, waiting until the moment is right to return to the mortal plane and enact the enslavement and destruction of humanity. The game's protagonists, particularly Alexandra Roivas, must put an end to their machinations. The four surviving Ancients appearing in the game are:

Dies Iræ ("Day of Wrath") is a famous Latin hymn written by Thomas of Celano. It is often judged to be the best medieval Latin poem, differing from classical Latin by its accentual (non-quantitative) stress, and its rhymed lines. The meter is trochaic. The poem describes the day of judgment, the last trumpet summoning souls before the throne of God, where the good will be delivered and the evil will be cast into eternal flames. It is used in the Sequentia of the Requiem mass. Dies Irae - The poem itself. Including:
